On January 4, 1903, the first Chinese landing force arrived in the southern part of Sumatra, and the Dutch were already busy blowing up the fruits of their years of labor and the wealth of their investment, including oil fields, oil storage tanks, and the huge Dutch Shell refinery, and the Chinese immediately launched a massive artillery bombardment from the sea. Watermark Ad Test: Watermark Ad Test

After the Dutch Admiral Philkadrew was rescued by his officers, the huge Chinese fleet of 6 cruisers, 7 destroyers and 8 troop transports braved the wind and waves, unstoppable, and anchored from the mouth of the Mus River, 10 miles from Palembang, Wang Shizhen's infantry division began to land, and the Chinese naval and land forces were superior in numbers and weapons, and in a desperate mood, the Dutch guards released a large amount of oil into the river and set it on fire, trying to prevent the landing of the squadron, but were bombarded by the Chinese ironclad giant ship with heavy artillery, it was withdrawn, and the squadron occupied Palembang overnight, along with the remaining oil reserves of Sumatra.

Immediately afterwards, the squadron occupied Sumatra and Timor Islands, cut off all passages in the Java Sea, and blocked the remaining fleets of the Netherlands and France in the Java Sea. In order to occupy Java, the Chinese landing force had 6 cruisers, 15 destroyers and 36 army transport ships advancing from the east and west to Java.

Java is only the fourth largest island in the Republic of Indonesia, but it has more than half of the population of Indonesia, and it is politically and economically dominant in the Dutch Indonesian colony, so the commander of the Dutch Far East Fleet, Admiral Philkadru and Dutch Rear Admiral Manteschart, led a combined fleet, including 5 cruisers and 10 destroyers, in an attempt to prevent the Chinese ** ship from landing in Java.

The fierce battle for the island of Java was first fought at sea. That evening, the Chinese fleet passed through the minefields of the Dutch Navy. Divided into 3 cruisers lined up in front to form a screen, followed by a column, 5 destroyers. Lin Tai had commanded five other cruisers to appear to the east, constantly swinging back and forth with all 8-inch cannons. Within the edge line of the maximum range of artillery fire, that is, 28,000 yards. They opened fire on the Dutch flagship "Bridrod", and a large number of russet flames erupted from the muzzle of the heavy guns.

A shell of several hundred pounds whizzed into the deck of the "Breedrod". There was a huge explosion and rumbling, followed by a detonation in the engine room, killing 14 people and leaving 8 boilers in the explosion. 6 stopped turning, the battleship trembled like a wounded crocodile, and the captain, Rear Admiral Fields, hastened to direct the cruiser out of battle. The Dutch destroyer "Kerteselt" began to fire back, and one shot hit the battery of the "Suzhou", and the mast of the "Suzhou" was also broken.

Lin Yongsheng, the captain of the "Suzhou," was furious and ordered the artillery to return fire, and the fierce shells flew towards the "Keteslt," and a torpedo slammed into the "Kteslt," and the ship was immediately blown in two. Disappeared into the sea. The destroyer Isabetha II next to it was also bombarded with torrential rain, and the bottom of the ship was warped from the water filled with gasoline. The hull of the ship continued to rock until the upper part of the ship touched the bottom of the sea at a depth of 25 feet and finally sank. Then the ship stopped fluttering, like a huge dead whale docked on the beach, and the propeller near starboard protruded from the sea.

A fire broke out in the middle of the foredeck of a French warship, the Saint-Louis: a bomb exploded in the ammunition compartment through the starboard side; The other went through the deck and exploded in the bilge, causing a fire. The battleship had been sailing, but the bow began to sink and cause fuel to spill, the fire engulfed the stern of the ship, and thick smoke rose from the harbor, which simply suffocated the French navy, killing and wounding hundreds.

At midnight, the squadron loaded 12 powerful new torpedoes and fired them all. The Dutch battleship then fell into a sea of fire. Seconds later, an explosion shook the Dutch flagship "Tokudo Tekel", and then a column of fire shot into the night sky, and in the last convulsive blast, the Dutch flagship sank, carrying with it Admiral Philkadru and his 366 men.

The Spanish battleship "Raymond" tried to escape into the Indian Ocean through the Sunda Strait, between Java and Sumatra. China has blocked that section of the strait and sent troops to land on the coastline near Batavia, the capital of Java. A few minutes later, a Chinese fleet arrived, including 1 cruiser and 2 destroyers, and a brief, one-sided exchange of fire ensued. 4 torpedoes hit the "Raymond", which tore open its hull and sank it.

In a melee in the waters of Java, the Chinese navy sank four Dutch, French, and Spanish cruisers and six destroyers, captured one cruiser and four destroyers, lost one cruiser and three torpedo boats, killed and wounded more than 2,000 Dutch officers and men, and China won the naval battle on Java Island.

With China in full control of the sea, Wang Shizhen's army began to land in the Nanwang area of Java. Prior to the landing, Chiang Baili's airship troops carried out surprise attacks on military targets on the shore of Dutch India, and artillery bombarded them. Nie Shicheng commanded the army to land first, he took the lead, personally commanded on the front line, brandished a command knife, and commanded his subordinates over and over again to storm the Dutch soldiers: "Brothers, Liu Yongfu has occupied Cuba, Liu Liumazi has captured the Philippines, we can't let people look down on us, we must take Java Island!" ”

The rugged, jungle-covered area of Java seemed to be intended for the squadron, which used tanks and infantry regiments with great effectiveness to open roads. When they come across a Dutch position, Chinese tanks rush over to destroy it, and then the infantry takes over it. If the tanks come to a stop when they encounter an obstacle, the infantry will attack the position. When approaching an obstacle, infantry would rush down the road into dense bush or into the mangroves along either side of the road. During the march of the tank, the cavalry often reconnoitred the situation in front. Then, when the enemy was routed, the tank corps continued to maintain pressure on the retreating enemy forces. The division of labor among China's various branches of the armed forces is orderly and incomparably brave.

The Dutch army was also defeated, more than 3,000 people retreated into the jungle, but the Dutch army was most afraid of the jungle, they could not bear the blood-sucking leeches, or the prickly climbing plants, and they were even more afraid of the "man-eating tree" on the island of Java, the frequent chaos state, so that their sight could only see a few feet around, at night, darkness fell, and the horror of the jungle area penetrated into the hearts of every Dutch defeated army. Most of the Dutch soldiers had bandages on their feet, they threw their rifles and ammunition aside, did not dare to close their eyes, hunger and fear spread in their hearts.

During that week, the transmission lines on the streets of Kuawa Island were scattered to the ground, the telephone poles were blown to pieces, and the corpses that had swelled before they had time to clean up were violently burned by the spreading fire. Song Jiaoren, Huang Keqiang, and some of the Hui members of the Liberation Society also made trouble behind the Dutch army, organizing overseas Chinese to rebel against the Dutch, and the Dutch suffered from the enemy and struggled to support them.

On other fronts, the squadron also advanced in an orderly manner, and the good news came one after another. On January 14, the squadron captured Ambon Island. Then, the island of Timor is within easy reach. In three days, China attacked Borneo and Celebes one after another, and the fall of these two islands was just around the corner. Then, the Chinese army landed in the Jakarta area, occupied Jakarta, and two days later occupied Surabaya. On January 25, the squadron captured Batavia, and the island of Java was within reach.

The Dutch-Indonesian governor Kani Rawal held a final military meeting in a simple anti-aircraft conference room under the fortress. General Canilawal and his assistant, Major General Nibandel, analyzed the situation facing the Dutch army and found that there was no hope of saving Indonesia. Quietly and with a bit of a sad atmosphere.

On February 4, Canilawal made a difficult decision: "Surrender to the Chinese." ”

Major General Nibantel nodded and said, "It's time for us to go back home." ”

At 7:30 a.m. on February 5, when the day was already dawning, Canilawar surrendered with the Dutch generals, holding white flags, and the last two thousand Dutch soldiers, and the shelling of the squadron stopped. Nie Shicheng gathered the other generals and accepted the surrender of the Dutch. At the surrender ceremony, the Chinese soldiers were in high spirits and sang the new national anthem, "Towering Kunlun, gazing at the land of China, surging rivers, giving birth to ancient civilizations, the people of Li are the masters of the country, and the emperor is leaving us...... In the Yaoshun era, the ancestors warned that the people have five ethnic groups and cannot be separated...... "The warm scene is just like when Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan!"

In the solemn and solemn surrender ceremony, the Chinese generals quietly raised their humble wine glasses, faced the direction of Beijing, and shouted in unison: "Long live the president!" ”

The next day, Wang Shizhen led his army to land on the island of Java. The Dutch officially abandoned their East Indies, ending their 300-year rule on the islands, and the last message from Java was transmitted back to the Netherlands via a radio station: "Now that we have been defeated, see you again in the next good era." Long live the Queen! ”

In less than two months, China had captured Indonesia and driven the Dutch out of the South Seas. In the end, the Dutch government spent the equivalent of six million silver dollars to redeem the Dutch prisoners of war, and Nanyang basically became the territory of China and Britain, and China had another industrial raw material base, as well as a large number of cheap labor, and the foundation of industrialization was more solid.
